423 NEXT - College students (18-22)
I’m on my own now. I feel stuck. How do I get out of this struggle? I don’t know what to do or who to tell? I don’t want the rest of my life and relationships to be marked by this. Is it possible to change?
At 423 Next, we specialize in creating a supportive community tailored to the unique challenges faced by college students in their journey of recovery and personal development. Recognizing that this age group experiences a pivotal time of identity formation and growing independence, our platform is designed to offer ongoing support and care specific to their needs. Instead of succumbing to the consistent struggles of shame, chaos, and numbness, we believe this period can be marked by transformation and connection with God and others. Our approach centers on engaging the journey of hope and healing in Christ within their new environments, providing a space where college students are not alone, and restoration is possible through Christ and community.
What Does a Group Look Like?
Safe Environment: Our groups are uniquely marked by safety, vulnerability, understanding, validation, encouragement, and NO shame or condemnation. We have been there. We get it. Together we can move forward and experience true hope, healing, and transformation.
Same-Gender Small Groups: Groups consist of 6-12 peers of the same gender. This creates a supportive and inclusive environment for sharing and growth.
Qualified and Certified Leaders: The group is led by two experienced leaders who are qualified, background-checked, and highly trained. You can have peace of mind knowing that your leaders understand what you are going through and are excited to be with you on the journey.
Consistent Weekly Sessions: Groups meet for two hours every week, year-round. This regularity provides stability and ongoing support for the hope and healing journey. We start with a 12 week commitment and take it from there.
Open and Reflective Discussions: Within the group, participants engage in open discussions, check-ins, and reflection. Through various exercises and focused content, you will have the opportunity to explore your journey and connect with others on a similar path in an environment marked by safety, confidentiality, vulnerability, and trust.
Cost: Though there is a fee associated with this program (15$/month) - These fees fall significantly short of covering the full program costs because our commitment is to keep our specialized support as cost-effective as possible.
